K3 FluCard Range

Can anyone tell me from their experience what is the maximum operating distance of the FluCard from the operator.?

I could get as far as 40 feet over open ground (no obstructions) with the live view streaming. Image transfers slow down considerably at that distance, though.

That's pretty damn impressive.

Many Thanks Panoguy - That is very useful information. I am going to give a talk at our camera club shortly on using the FluCard and was unsure of this fact.

No problem. Keep in mind, this was done in a park with no competing RF signals... and I found the Eye-Fi cards to be good up to 100 feet!

I had similar results in a high-school sized gym with the camera mounted on a tripod on the balcony in the center. I could get signal anywhere in the gym. Control was a little delayed at the extreme corners. I'd say 40' was about the limit.
